Enemy of My Enemy

When it is advantageous, move; when not advantageous, stop. Anger can revert to happiness, annoyance can revert to joy, but a vanquished state cannot be revived, the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

PRIMARY - Escape the graveyard

Enemies will continually respawn here, but they will only attack you if they spot you, if you fire on them, or if you get too close. Stay low, unmoving, and behind cover or tall grass if possible. You must kill enemies who are manning turrets and who are in your way to your goal. Unlike Solid Snake, Soap MacTavish is rewarded for killing enemies, so do so quickly and quietly when enemies are close by.

You can barely see it, but the Technial's gunner was a danger and needed to be taken out before he kills you. Stick to the edge of the map (the chain link fence here is the edge of the map). Enemies don't really appear there and you have something of a blind side where enemies won't come from.

Stick to the edge of the map and advance slowly. There's no real time limit here despite the chatter. Speaking of chatter, listen carefully to the soldiers' comms. They will alert one another if they see you.

The container from the first zone to the second is a chokepoint for enemies. Clear it out once the enemies thin out. The ramp from the second zone to the final zone can be thinned out. Snipe carefully and retreat if you are seriously injured.

Go to the left of the wreckage with the last intel in this stage. You are better equipped to reach Price's jeep from there. Watch for a Shadow Company SUV around this red container as you near the end. Several lose control and may kill you if you are exposed as they crash in wild, careening paths.

Drop from the airplane ramp and move to the left side. You should be able to have an easier time as most of Shadow Company soldiers are killed or distracted by Markarov's men. Watch for the SUVs that lose control. Price should be past a Shadow Company spawn point. If you have a flashbang, put one out and slip past them, or whittle away their numbers until there's a clear path to the jeep.

Once you board Price's ride, you're more or less invulnerable. Just keep shooting straight and you'll be fine. When the driver is killed, use the movement controls to steer left/right into the plane's cargo ramp.

INTEL - 2 Pieces

This stage isn't timed per se, but you'll be hard pressed to go out of your way on Veteran. Try grabbing laptops on lower difficulty levels. Once a laptop is retrieved, they will cease to be a worry on a subsequent play.

Enemy of My Enemy 1/2

From where the mission starts, drop down and check plane wreck next to your starting wreck. The laptop is in cockpit.

Enemy of My Enemy 2/2

As you near Price's ride, you will see a wreckage of a jumbo jet with its nose pointed towards you. You should be heading west across a wide road (check your mini-map). Note that this road is occasionally patrolled by light armor. Head into this wreck for the laptop (there may also be an occasional checkpoint, if Price keeps talking to Nicolai).
